Résumé:
Le service d’eau montréalais a connu deux transformations au XIXe siècle, passant d’un régime privé à un régime public, d’abord pour sa propriété et ensuite pour son exploitation. Depuis 1851, le service d’eau potable de Montréal est devenu un service public à part entière. À travers l’étude de la mise en place de ce nouveau service, le lecteur découvre le quotidien de la population montréalaise dans ses rapports à l’hygiène, à la salubrité, à la consommation, à la sécurité, etc. Il a aussi l’occasion de suivre les mécanismes de partage entre le secteur public et le secteur privé d’un service tellement essentiel qu’on le tient pour acquis.

Résumé:
Situated in Central Asia, Xinjiang is an autonomous region of the People’s Republic of China traditionally inhabited primarily by Uyghurs, in addition to significant populations of Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Mongolian and other minorities. Patrick Wack traversed this massive territory, three times the size of France, with camera in hand to gain a sense of its history, people, and current state of unrest due to China’s crackdown on its Muslim population. Islamophobia in China has flared in recent years due to reports of radicalised Uyghur volunteers fighting for ISIS in Syria and elsewhere. Wack counters this with a riveting account of his experiences in a place where the dust is omnipresent.

Résumé:
As ecology becomes the new engineering, the projection of landscape as infrastructure—the contemporary alignment of the disciplines of landscape architecture, civil engineering, and urban planning— has become pressing. Predominant challenges facing urban regions and territories today—including shifting climates, material flows, and population mobilities, are addressed and strategized here. Responding to the under-performance of master planning and over-exertion of technological systems at the end of twentieth century, this book argues for the strategic design of "infrastructural ecologies," describing a synthetic landscape of living, biophysical systems that operate as urban infrastructures to shape and direct the future of urban economies and cultures into the 21st century.

Résumé:
The "Green Heart" exhibition showcases the "Marina One" project by ingenhoven architects, which will open in the center of Singapore at the end of 2017. As an international role model for living and working, "Marina One" makes an innovative contribution to the discourse on mega-cities, especially in tropical regions, which, in the context of increasing population and climate change, face enormous challenges. The high-density building complex with its mix of uses extends to over 400,000 square meters and, with its group of four high-rise buildings, defines the "Green Heart"—a public space extending over several stories. This three-dimensional green oasis reflects the diversity of tropical flora.

Résumé:
In ''Inventing Future Cities'', Michael Batty explores what we need to understand about cities in order to invent their future. Batty outlines certain themes- principles- that apply to all cities. He investigates not the invention of artifacts but inventive processes. Today form is becoming ever more divorced from function; information networks now shape the traditional functions of cities as places of exchange and innovation. By the end of this century, most of the world's population will live in cities, large or small, sometimes contiguous, and always connected; in an urbanized world, it will be increasingly difficult to define a city by its physical boundaries.

Résumé:
In this book, Takashi Homma traces the blood trails of deer killed in Shiretoko National Park on the Japanese island of Hokkaido. Like ritualistic stains or calligraphic compositions, the photographs, which Homma made in the winters of 2009 to 2018, are at once abstract and symbolic. Considered by some to be sacred, deer in Japan have controversially faced culls due to(...)

Résumé:
In this book, Takashi Homma traces the blood trails of deer killed in Shiretoko National Park on the Japanese island of Hokkaido. Like ritualistic stains or calligraphic compositions, the photographs, which Homma made in the winters of 2009 to 2018, are at once abstract and symbolic. Considered by some to be sacred, deer in Japan have controversially faced culls due to their growing population, which upset agricultural communities struggling to protect their crops. To aid their mission in reducing numbers, the government encourages local hunters to take matters into their own hands. Homma photographs the effects – the red vestiges of wild life in the snow.

Résumé:
In the 1960s and 1970s large, high-technology, inpatient oriented hospitals reflected the central role of such facilities in an expanding healthcare system. But hospital architecture and the healthcare system have vastly changed since then, in profound and unpredicted ways. This book explores for the first time how and why acute care hospitals and the often related psychiatric facilities, retirement communities, and community clinics have been transformed during the final decades of the twentieth century. The authors also consider utopian visions of unbuilt work and look ahead to the possible healthcare landscape of the future: "health villages," home-based care for the aging and aged population, and cyberclinics and virtual hospitals.

Résumé:
Le Marais, ancien marécage où s'étendaient des terrains cultivés, a été couvert d'Hôtels aristocratiques... Cette définition du quartier a poussé Juliette Faure à connaître plus précisément l'espace et les sociétés qui l'ont modelé. Depuis le Moyen-Âge, nous trouvons ici les témoins des modes de vie. C'est au XIXe siècle que le Marais a vu se transformer les Hôtels et les maisons d'accompagnement pour accueillir l'artisanat et la petite industrie. De nos jours le vieux quartier renaît en ouvrant les portes des demeures prestigieuses qui sont réaménagées en musées, bibliothèques, salles de conférence. De même, les mutations dans les commerces accompagnent le changement partiel de la population.

Résumé:
What might the city of the future look like and how might it meet the needs of future generations while limiting damage to our planet's fragile ecosystem? This book introduces pioneering architects, designers and planners whose visions for an alternative urban future address issues such as climate change, population density, infrastructure, transportation and digital culture. It includes over 40 radical projects grouped into five key categories: master planning and megacities, transportation and infrastructure, new habitats, green cities/ urban farming, and smart cities. Each category summarises trends that will drive the development of future cities, with each project representing a unique approach to urban development in the 21st century and beyond.
